To be totally blunt, there have been a few threads with music hate lately, and I’ve been biting my tongue, but it really pisses me off that even in a community such as this, where everyone complains about feeling persecuted for their choices in equipment (just look up all the threads about why don’t people take me seriously without a pair of CDJ’s) they then turn around and crap all over top 40 dj’s as no talent hacks and whatnot. Basically, they do exactly what they complain about others doing to them – just over music instead of equipment. I’ve been spinning mainstream music for close to 20 years, made very good coin doing it, had a lot of fun, and yet still have talents and skills to compete head to head with anybody on this forum who thinks they are “all that”.

Anyway, that’s the end of my tangent.

And more to your actual question – your plan is excellent. Have at it!

Completely understand your point my friend! It was more of a joke anyway man haha, but I do see a lot of hatred towards DJ’s who go for the “money slots” of mainstream clubs! I don’t care though, I like top 40 and I’m more than willing to spin it!!

To all others, thanks for the comments and advice. I’m looking forward to getting on the radio and seeing how it pans out! Guess I just need to jump into the deep end and see what happens 🙂

It was my friend’s laptop which we were using and as I don’t have it right now I can’t give details on the model etc. Sorry guys. I could have a look at the soundcard settings when we’re back at it again.

The event went good by the way guys, the sound was okay once we got it into the bigger room. It wasn’t perfect, but hey, we’ve only started so we’ll learn as we go along.

We don’t have a soundcard at present, we’ve had to rely on reading the waveforms on the program which is not ideal, but its went pretty well considering. The music for the venue is all commercial, so not a lot of talented mixing needs to be done anyway lol

D-Jam, I’m not really up to date with the functions of a soundcard. Haven’t even had the chance to read over all the articles on it as I’ve been really busy recently, which is the reason i’m only getting back to this thread now. I’m guessing that it has one connection which is USB to plug into the laptop and the little box has a headphone jack to plug in the RCA cable like we would normally do? Sorry if that isn’t explained very well lol! Would it take over the sound and make it sound a lot better, yes?

Thanks for the help guys, problem solved 🙂 I didn’t realise I had “smart play” on the side of which the song was playing, took it off and for some reason it sounds fine again!
